Today in my women in the arts class our teacher asked us to make a list of culturally identifying terms that described ourselves. Mine came out something like this:
.woman
.daugheter
.sister
.christian
.sports fan
.friend
.teacher
.student
Then she asked us to pick one of the terms and list what we would and would not want said about ourselves as a member of this "category." I sat there for a minute after deciding I would pick "christian" and once I got started I was quickly reminded of how many negative sterotypes of christians there are. I don't want to be associated with any of them. I want to be one who rises above, I think we as christians make it harder then it has to be. All we have to do is be love. Everything we do, say and are should be full of love. Sure we will fail, we will be mocked, but after everything Jesus went through for us doesn't what we go through see a bit insignificant in comparison?
2 Timothy 3:12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
